Abstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental trouble characterized by deficits in communication and social interactions associated with restricted and repetitive behaviour, interests and activities. Given the heterogeneity of the disorder and the absence of biomarker, its diagnostic approach must be comprehensive and multidisciplinary, according to international classifications. The aetiology of ASDs remains mostly unknown and results from a multifactorial model. This document offers guidelines to standardize practices and optimize the exploration of children with autism.
